Province Plans Year-Round Waterfront Destination for All Ontarians to Enjoy

The province is moving forward with its long-term vision to revitalize Ontario Place into a vibrant waterfront destination. The government's plan does not include residential development of any kind on a space that should remain public.

The revitalized Ontario Place will offer the public access to a spectacular part of Toronto and a mix of outdoor and indoor features, including:

Greater public recreational space -- a collection of green spaces and a blue park for water activities, as well as a waterfront trail.

A celebration common -- an area for cultural activities, festivals and community events.

Live music legacy -- expansion of live music options that will include continuing performances at the Molson Canadian Amphitheatre, as well as exploring options to bring live music acts to the site year-round.

A hub for culture, discovery and innovation -- new facilities that have an eye towards the future, focused on learning and research.
Cinesphere and pods -- will be conserved as an important part of the site's cultural heritage.

A canal district -- a waterfront promenade lined with stores and restaurants.

Improved connections -- including a landscaped pedestrian bridge that doubles as a gathering space extending across Lake Shore Boulevard and linking with Exhibition Place.

The province continues to work closely with the City of Toronto to realize the shared potential of Ontario Place and Exhibition Place.

Revitalizing Ontario Place is part of the government's economic plan to invest in people, build modern infrastructure and support a dynamic business climate.
